Hi Jackie,
I am sure it is a sign your hubby is with you. I find white feathers when I feel I need them which I am sure are from my dear mum who I lost nearly 4 years ago, they always turn up at appropriate times.
Hope all goes well for you today.
Hugs, Lesley xx
Hi poppysmum
thank you for your reply I’m sure he was with me
my test results show very early cancer so that’s good news just got to wait for a date for the op now
thank you for the good wishes

Hi , I'm glad you felt that you weren't alone as you went for your appointment. Early stage concern is highly treatable and often only a hysterectomy is needed. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your op. Meanwhile, take some time to breathe and to do something you enjoy this weekend. Sending lots of good wishes your way x
Hi Jackie, so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. I know a little of how you feel because I lost my Mum just a few months before I was diagnosed and I definitely could have used a hug from her many times during the diagnosis and treatment process. I think though that we carry the important people in our lives with us even after they are gone in love, memories and so much life shared in the past. Even if I couldn't have a real hug from my Mum I could still feel what it would have felt like and I took that with me throughout. I'm sure you will carry your husband's support with you in the same way. Sending hugs from me too xx.
Dear teddysmum
thank you for your kind words.i also lost my mum five months before I lost my husband so I know exactly where you are coming from it’s really hard isn’t it.i felt they where there with me today .
i got the best result I could have hoped for stage 1 grade a so now I have to go through the operation which I am scared about but things could have been worse but with support from my family and all you lovely lady’s I hope I will cope everybody has been so great on here
take care and sending hugs to you too

Hi Jackie, if my experience is anything to go by the operation was far less traumatic in reality than it was in my imagination beforehand. I had a full vertical incision because my fibroids were to large for keyhole to be possible and the healing was surprisingly quick. The worst part was the terrible wind afterwards but peppermint oil soon sorted that one out. The key is to just follow all the recovery instructions, expect to take it easy for a number of weeks and be kind to yourself....you'll be fine xx.
I am glad you have your results , my womb cancer was early stage too and I only had a hysterectomy as treatment. The peppermint oil is good tip to help with the wind pain. I love peppermint tea now it was my hero! Some found prune juice very good too. The surgery I found not to be as bad as I expected but it was daunting still. Mine was half and half as I put part keyhole part abdominal.
